Mirror with Lotus and Mantra
A circular bronze mirror with a green patina, its back decorated with eight lotus-petal lobes radiating from a central knob. Each petal holds a circular medallion of stylized script, and a band of small floral rosettes frames the outer rim.
Look closer: A small lotus-bud knob at the center with a tiny figure-like ornament beneath it.
